A PETITION FOR PROBATE
has been filed by RICHARD
V. GUNNER AND MICHAEL
R. GUNNER in the Superior
Court of California, County of
SANTA BARBARA.
THE PETITION FOR
PROBATE requests that
RICHARD V. GUNNER AND

the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the
decedent's WILL and codicils,
if any, be admitted to probate.
The WILL and any codicils are
available for examination in
the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests
authority to administer the
estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act.
(This authority will allow the
personal representative to
take many actions without
obtaining court approval.
Before taking certain very
important actions, however,
the personal representative
will be required to give notice
to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed
action.) The independent
administration authority will be
granted unless an interested
person files an objection to
the petition and shows good
cause why the court should
not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition
will be held in this court as
follows: 07/02/26 at 9:00AM in
Dept. SB5 located at 1100
ANACAPA ST., SANTA
BARBARA, CA 93121
IF YOU OBJECT to the
granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or
file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or
a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a
copy to the personal
representative appointed by
the court within the later of
either (1) four months from
the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal
representative, as defined in
section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or
personal delivery to you of a
notice under section 9052 of
the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and
legal authority may affect your
rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an
attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file
kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the
estate, you may file with the
court a Request for Special
Notice (form DE-154) of the
filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
